@TherealNihal Hi Nihal, how about the Great British Recycle-Off. People compete to separate out recycling into various bins, with escalating challenges based on different local authority rules... it would be a hit!
Indeed, the #GERD is the rare story of a truly national endeavour in #Ethiopia's story. Many rightly refer to it as #Adwa's second coming - a clarion call for our independence & unity. In these moments, let us remember that the best of us is reflected in rest of us! #ItsOurTime
First Emperor’s vision,then audacity,followed continuity:the 1st turbine is on! Congratulations!Those who resisted hardship at the cost of their health & life,negotiated with only Ethiopia’s interest at heart,who shared their meager ressources..this day is yours. Hat off to you!!
@metajacketnft @SheychaD This is such an interesting #NFT project, @LiyoFromEthio! #DigitalTwin jackets w/ royalties in perpetuity & community-led production inspired by traditional artistic expression. @metajacketnft @SheychaD kudos on this! I can't wait to get mine and to get involved. #NFTs#JacketDay
Really sad to hear news about the passing of gentle giant in the world of #water. Generous, critical, forthright and attentive, I was always struck by his commitment to mentor & advise.
Rest in power, Prof. Tony Allan. You will be missed but not forgotten. J.A.Allan reference.
#Egypt’s blinkered insistence on recognition of notions of “historic rights and current utilization” in any possible agreement on the #GERD♒️ only aggravates #Ethiopia|n negotiators, who see this as an unfathomable proposition. #ItsMyDam

“I’m not threatening anyone here, our dialogue is always reasonable and rational,” Sisi said.
An absurd statement emanating from a truly absurd position. Sooner this entitlement banished, the better for entire #NileBasin! #ItsMyDam#GERD#Ethiopia🇪🇹

As we enter the month of March - the #WomensMonth - and turn the page on February - #BlackHistoryMonth - lets honour this exceptional woman's courage and love for her people! #SayHerName: Tayitu Betul, the heroine of #Adwa125 and monument to #Africa|n independence. #OneEthiopia
As a child, I remember stories my great grandmother told about #Yekatit12 / የካቲት ፲፪ & carnage it wrought on #AddisAbeba. The martyrdom of thousands for defying white supremacy. A rejection in blood of colonialism & fascism. #EthiopiaPrevails when we remember how we got here
The greatest treasure looted from the Ethiopian people at Maqdala in 1868 isn't in the BL or V&A. The Kwer'ata Re'esu, the most sacred icon of the Ethiopian people, was stolen by a representative of the Queen, later sold by his heirs & remains hidden in a bank vault today. 1/10
Kudos to @PSchwartzstein, @danielbenaim, @tekaldas and all others involved in this fascinating work.
I am very much looking forward to reading the other essays and expanding my own understanding. Hopefully, these insights can find their way to the right ears...

@terrefebiruk Even your "speaks volumes", is an understatement. A fascinating assemblage of characters from Chair to Panel who will "dissect and shed light" on our national prospects.
